Increasingly, priests today have become the Pharisees of long ago. Moneyed, in wheels, untouchables. And where Jesus has walked the Earth almost barefoot, these new leaders cruise in their beautiful SUV\u2019s and preach not by example but by show. At least that\u2019s what we see in the list below. Yes, good leaders still abound. Pope Francis is a blessing, no doubt. But the \u201cPadreDamasos\u201dof today abound.From the looks of it, it seems a Pandora\u2019s boxis just waiting to explode. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s get it on.

They have greater functions and are generally more revered than your regular daily Holy Mass prayer leader.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, however, charges of ivory smuggling into the Philippine archipelago (as reported by National Geographis) only uncovered a string of reprehensible crimes 20 years earlier by this errant messenger of God: doling out cocaine to minors and of being a true blue <a href=\"http:\/\/bryanchristy.com\/tag\/cristobal-garcia\/\">pedophile<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Certain parents reported his questionable ways. Curious, a certain Father Sherpa investigated. However, when he went into the allegedly erring priest\u2019s room, he saw the man of cloth was with a 17-year old boy in his bed. The incident happened in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California and reports have made its rounds in the internet. Not wanting to affect the faith of millions of believers in the area, the case was settled and the priest was sent back to Cebu for rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>Today the priest-who-has-since-become-a-Monsignor has been stripped of his ministry by the Vatican itself and is forbidden to say the Holy Mass. Many believe the powerful Garcia clan of Cebu has protected the erring shepherd.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Msgr.

In a three-page complaint, the husband \u201ca former altar boy\u201d divulged that the family\u2019s computer where he installed electronic gadgets confirmed the ongoing relationship. Further, he showed a text message to the priest\u2019s immediate superior, Auxiliary Bishop Pablo Virgilio David which was purportedly sent by the priest saying: \u201cSigena babes, sleep natayo, gagawa pa ko ng homily (Let\u2019s sleep babes, I still have to make my homily).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tagged as a \u201chomewrecker\u201d, the priest has since been suspended.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Fr.

But this shepherd started eating his sheep.<\/p>\n<p>Two of his teen-age acolytes, aged 15 and 16, alleged that they were abused by the priest for 2 years now, starting December 1988 to June 1990.

He was stripped of his function and incarcerated for 3 years. Initially, he was assigned in the city of Dagupan, north of Metro Manila to the St. Therese Parish. Two cases have been filed against him, rape and child abuse under R.A. #7610.<\/p>\n<p>What made the case disturbing was it involved a 14-year old girl. According to the victim, sometime in October 1997, she was raped by the priest repeatedly \u2013 with the consent of her mother upon the priest\u2019s solicitations. The priest was 52-years old that time.<\/p>\n<p>And though the priest has been eventually exonerated in the lower court, the damage has been done as he has done his time in jail, stripped of his priestly function and the case has been reported nationwide in the dailies.However, he must have plenty of answering to do as he has joined his Creator already \u2013 granting he was not cast on the eternal fire.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Fr.

Allegedly, names like Panlilio surface.<\/p>\n<p>However, this particular Capangpangan priest admitted siring 2 children and sought dispensation. Read: stop being a priest. It seems Archbishop Aniceto won\u2019t let him go, however. Funny thing, the nasty rumors only increased his faithful attending masses.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Fr.

The defiled: his former staff, Daniel Veridiano.<\/p>\n<p>Veridiano alleged he was repeatedly raped by the famous preacher in Apalit, Pampanga. Preacher denies it saying the former assistant was fired for fund misuse. Regional Court dismissed the case. However, former Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez reopened it. Because of this a warrant of arrest has been issued by Judge Manuel Siyangco of the Macabebe Regional Trial Court prompting the errant leader to pay over PhP 240,000 as bail.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts suspect Veridiano was instigated by INC (Iglesiani Cristo), a rival religious group to which the complainant now belongs.

The secretary has since resigned. For his part, the Bishop has asked forgiveness and has also resigned, finding shelter in the U.S. after official Vatican investigations on his case were undertaken.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Novaliches Bishop TeodoroBacani Jr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scandal #2:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bishop-accountability.org\/cases\/1987_03_04_milla_v_tamayo_CA.pdf\"><strong>Young Lady Raped by Seven Priests<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This does not involve any Filipina being raped but since the perpetrators are mostly Filipino priests, it will take the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> top spot in this list. For sheer madness.<\/p>\n<p>Working his priestly magic as a confessor-shepherd, Fr. Santiago Tamayo was able to seduce 16-year old Rita Milla in a diocese in California, USA. What made this case stand out was upon turning 18, Milla was also \u201cused\u201d by Fr. Angel Cruces, upon the introduction of Fr. Tamayo. But like a fire hitting super-dry twigs, the scandal went bigger as Milla was later introduced to 5 other priests who also sexually abused her. Namely they were: Fathers Henry Caboang, Rubin Abaya, SylvioLacar, Victor Balbin and Valentine Tugade.<\/p>\n<p>Milla soon got impregnated by Tugade. Under Tamayo\u2019s arrangement, she was sent to the Philippines after refusing an abortion. After filing a case, however, the state court in the U.S. found out that indeed Tugade is the child\u2019s father. Milla received $500,000 settlement from America\u2019s largest archdiocese and Tugade has asked for forgiveness. The erring 7 priests have been reassigned, lost like bubbles.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: Frs.

Talk about Mr. Clean. Some of his duties: 1.)rector of San Carlos Seminary 2.) spiritual director at the Mother of Good Counsel Seminary.<\/p>\n<p>But temptations found its way. It all started when a Bicolana named Christine sought counselling of the disciplinarian priest over a grave problem: She was having an affair with another priest. As time rolled by, the counselling turned romantic after some eat-outs and eventually Christine got pregnant. Not before the Catholic Church made the priest a bishop, the youngest to be given the authority.<\/p>\n<p>However, parishioners of Makati soon found out about the relationship and after more rumors surfaced the Vatican had to intervene announcing the bishop resigned. Errant shepherd promptly fled to the United States leaving behind 2 children. Apparently, the affair lasted longer than anyone suspected.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged Offender: AntipoloBishop Crisostomo A.
